  • RE: how to execute procedures one after the another in an script

    I guess I don't understand the question. Stuff in a script is run in the order it's in the script.

  • RE: DLP Technology

    The question "who guards the guards" has the potential, like any recursive algorithm, of becoming an infinite loop.

  • RE: varchar to datetime

    Lynn is right about applications. Another thing to consider is not just front-end code, but procs. Are they doing string manipulations on the varchar dates, and will fail...

    Don't worry about the English-language aspect of the question. By the definition being used to justify the answer on this one, neither query is equivalent to itself, since floating...

  • RE: varchar to datetime

    There are several ways to do this, depending on your exact needs.

    On the format, datetime data is stored as a pair of 4-byte integers, one for the day, one for...

  • RE: Accessing and changing data 2008

    I just tested both queries in a copy of 2008 Enterprise, and the only difference in the results was the order (which, by RDBMS definition, doesn't matter).

    Here's my test:

  • RE: Setting up linked servers in Sql Server 2005
